Chapter 53 Reasons

The car suddenly went quiet.

Butler Chen and the driver in the front passenger seat showed a look of excitement.

Good guy.

What did he do outside? Only

when he came back could one party feel that the other party liked him?

Ji Min was stunned for a long time.

He stared at Lu Ran, as if he didn't believe his ears, and asked tentatively:

"What did you say?"

The boy didn't feel embarrassed at all. He

repeated loudly: "Ask you if you like me."

This time Ji Min heard it clearly.

He laughed absurdly.

It seemed that he heard some century joke.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Ran said with reason: "Then why are you so good to me? You pay me for nothing and don't ask me to do anything, just study."

"After finding out that I used you, you didn't get angry and let me continue to work."

"Just now you helped me save face in front of Shen Hongyuan."

His eyes were black and white, and he looked at Ji Min steadily.

It seemed to say, if this is not love, then what is it!

There was even a trace of distress in his clear eyes.

It seemed that he was thinking about how to reject him.

Ji Min was dizzy by Lu Ran's words, and he was inexplicably angry.

He thought this child was really amazing.

He tilted his head and said seriously, "I saw you rinse the cup in the toilet today."

So crazy.

Who would like it?

But the boy obviously didn't hear his hidden meaning. He

even frowned and explained, "I was mostly venting my anger and helping you to deal a little trick. Don't be too moved."

Ji Min held his breath in his chest.

Don't be too moved?

Ji Min opened the car window and took a breath of the cool air outside, and then he calmed down the anger in his head.

He turned his head and explained to Lu Ran seriously, "I'm not interested in children under the age of 20." As soon as

he finished speaking.

The boy stared at him in shock.

For some reason, Ji Min suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He thought he refused too bluntly, and his lips moved and he was about to say something.

The young man's eyes widened, and he said with an expression that was hard to describe:

"What are you thinking about? There is an age limit."

Ji Min: "..."

What on earth did he hire?

Is it too late to throw it away now?

"Thank you, I have no interest in you at all, and I don't have the pleasure of wasting money to support someone. Since I hired you, I naturally have my own reasons. You shut up and go back to sit down, and work hard for me tomorrow."

Ji Min spoke a long string of words for the first time.

He didn't even take a breath in the middle, for fear that Lu Ran would interrupt him and say something inexplicable.

Lu Ran carefully observed his expression.

Seeing that he was really serious, he returned to his seat at the back half-believingly.

"It's better not to." He said, "The boss likes the employees, that's called workplace bullying."

Ji Min: "..."

He turned his head and glanced out the window.

Seeing that they were already near Shen's house, he said coldly: "Stop."

The driver parked the car on the side of the road.

Ji Min's eyes didn't move.

As if to prove that he really had no interest in Lu Ran, he said in a cold tone: "Get out of the car."

"Ah?" Lu Ran was at a loss, "Didn't you say you would send me home?"

"There is no such treatment now." The man spoke slowly.

In the end, Lu Ran hugged the dog and walked back to Shen's house alone, cursing.

I thought to myself, no wonder Ji Min is so rich but has no boyfriend or girlfriend.

It turns out that he has a bad temper.

But after listening to Ji Min's words, for some reason, Lu Ran also breathed a sigh of relief.

The discomfort caused by the recent extra preferential treatment gradually faded away.

Ji Min has his own purpose, so this is the only way to make sense.

On the other side.

Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingran were also on their way back.

Shen Hongyuan frowned and said nothing.

Shen Xingran was a little confused.

He came here excitedly today, because he heard that this banquet was very rare, so he specially made a hairstyle and wore a precious haute couture.

Who knew that Shen Hongyuan couldn't take him in.

Shen Xingran stayed in the car alone for a long time, because it was too boring and he could only sleep.

Now that he sees Shen Hongyuan, he also complains a little in his heart.

If he had come here with his eldest brother Shen Xing, he would never wait in the car like this, right?

But this cannot be said.

Shen Hongyuan exploded on the spot when he heard it.

But Shen Xingran didn't want to take care of Shen Hongyuan's fragile self-esteem at this moment. He

pretended not to notice Shen Hongyuan's expression and played with his phone in the car.

During this time, his relationship with Mrs. Shen was repaired.

Shen Xingran was finally no longer so worried.

But after looking through the contacts in his phone, Shen Xingran felt a faint greasy taste again.

Suddenly, he received a message on his phone.

After seeing this, Shen Xingran approached Shen Hongyuan with a little excitement: "Dad! Is Brother Ning Qi coming back?"

He said excitedly.

But he found that Shen Hongyuan didn't respond at all.

Shen Xingran was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up and looked at Shen Hongyuan's face carefully.

Shen Hongyuan was staring out the window with a serious look.

His face was very serious, with a solemn look as if a storm was about to come.

He didn't even hear what he just said.

After being stared at for a while, Shen Hongyuan came back to his senses, frowned and asked Shen Xingran: "What did you say just now?"

Shen Xingran was stunned, and deliberately made her voice obedient: "Nothing, Gu Ningqi just sent me a message saying that he will be returning to China soon."

"Yeah." Shen Hongyuan responded, and only muttered softly, "Gu family..." When

mentioning the Gu family, Shen Xingran's eyes also showed some spirit.

Before, he felt that the marriage between Zhang Lin and Lin Yi was a pity, but he didn't really do anything.

It was because the Shen family actually had a verbal marriage

with the Gu family. Gu Ningqi was even his childhood sweetheart.

The Shen family and the Gu family were once large families of the same level. The Shen family has not been doing well in recent years, but the Gu family has not changed.

It is almost a big family with the same status as the Ji family.

Shen Xingran is not a fool, of course he wants to eat something good.

With Gu Ningqi around, he doesn't want to choose Zhang Lin, the second-generation rich man.

Shen Xingran was a little excited.

For a moment, he forgot about Shen Hongyuan's situation.

Until he returned to the Shen family's villa.

Shen Xingran followed Shen Hongyuan back to the living room.

He was about to share the news he got with Mrs. Shen.

As soon as he walked over, he saw Shen Hongyuan, who was about to go upstairs, paused.

He turned around very casually.

Asked Mrs. Shen: "Have you prepared the guest list you booked some time ago?"

Mrs. Shen was confused by the question: "What guest list?"

Shen Xingran was also confused.

Then, Shen Hongyuan was seen standing on the stairs, as if announcing something harmless, and said in a casual but firm tone:

"Next month, we will take Lu Ran back home. Didn't you have this idea some time ago? Now continue to prepare."

The moment she heard this sentence.

Shen Xingran's mind almost exploded.

What did Shen Hongyuan say?

Who is he going to take back?

Lu Ran?

Why?

Obviously, before today, Shen Hongyuan was still strongly opposed to this matter!

Mrs. Shen was also shocked.

Before, she said that she wanted to take Lu Ran back, just in case Shen Xingran was really Shen Hongyuan's illegitimate child.

She didn't have time to prepare.

And at this time, when she said that she wanted to take Lu Ran back, all kinds of troubles that she wanted to avoid came up.

She subconsciously evaded the question: "Why do you suddenly want to do this? It's too troublesome to mess around with it..."

Shen Hongyuan's face darkened and he interrupted her: "It's all because of you!"

He seemed to think of something and suppressed his anger.

Gai Guan concluded: "Okay, it's settled. You should prepare well."

Without waiting for Mrs. Shen's response, he continued to walk upstairs.

Halfway through, Shen Hongyuan stopped again.

He turned his head to look at the stunned Shen Xingran and said: "Since you have contact with Gu Ningqi, remember to inform the Gu family."

Shen Xingran suddenly clenched the phone in her hand.

If Lu Ran returned to the Shen family.

The marriage of the Gu family...

Shen Xingran suddenly realized that it was Mr. Shen who had arranged a marriage with the Gu family.

Before Grandpa Shen passed away, he was not adopted by the Shen family at all.

So...

who was the originally chosen candidate for the marriage?

For a moment, the living room of the Shen family was completely quiet.

Until the electronic door outside made a "beep" sound.

Shen Xingran turned his head and looked over.

Lu Ran walked in from outside the villa with his puppy, under the dim light of street lamps.

This man looked no different from the previous two days.

He was still dressed in that poor way.

There were even unknown stains on the hem of his clothes and trousers.

She seemed to have noticed his gaze.

This orphan who, in Shen Xingran's eyes, had no favor, no style, and seemed to be only crazy, raised his eyes and looked straight at him.

There was a calmness in his dark eyes that made him unable to stop feeling scared and guilty.

Shen Xingran still remembered, it was this morning.

He and Lu Ran were standing in the same position now, and he looked at Lu Ran arrogantly because of Mrs. Shen's preferential treatment.

Lu Ran was ruthlessly informed that he would never be recognized as a member of the Shen family.

And only a dozen hours had passed.

It seemed that nothing had changed, and it seemed that everything had changed.

At this time, some noises came from upstairs again.

Several people turned their heads and found that it was Shen Hongyuan who came down again.

He took off the formal dress he was wearing for the banquet.

But he changed into a more decent and low-key outfit, and tidied his hair, as solemnly as if he was going to meet some important clients.

A sense of absurdity flashed through Shen Xingran's mind.

Did Shen Hongyuan come here specially to meet Lu Ran?

When she walked downstairs, she saw that only Lu Ran was coming back with his dog.

Shen Hongyuan's face darkened, a little surprised: "Why did you come back by yourself?"

Lu Ran looked at him and wanted to laugh.

"What else?"

He looked up and down at Shen Hongyuan's outfit, and exclaimed in a somewhat exaggerated way:

"Oh my God, Dad, did you come here specially to welcome me?"

Shen Hongyuan seemed to be fooled, and subconsciously wanted to get angry.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the puppy following Lu Ran.

Lu Ran followed Ji Min tonight.

When he came back, he brought the dog with him...

Shen Hongyuan looked a little surprised.

Ji Min...

actually kept a dog for Lu Ran!

He held back for a long time, and finally forced a smile on his face, saying: "There will be a party at home in a month, you should prepare well."

After that, Shen Hongyuan went back upstairs.

Lu Ran took Da Huang back to the room.

He thought about Shen Hongyuan's expression just now, and couldn't help laughing. He

picked up the phone and sent a message to Ji Min: Boss, you are so nice [sticky].

Although he didn't know what Ji Min wanted him to do.

But Ji Min's identity obviously helped him a lot.

The man over there seemed to be scared.

He quickly and carefully replied with a message that was irrelevant: I don't like you.
